Writers learning to fix up their writing to make it better

Lesson 4-1
Lesson: Writers can fix their writing to make it better

==> Have you ever found something that needed fixing?

==> Determining the problem (if you have something that is broken it would help create a visual). Let's look at this chair. What do you think of it? I think it's pretty cute, but it has a little problem. When I looked it over I discovered that one of its legs is broken.

==> The story we read today is going to help us understand how we can become better writers by using the fix-it process.

==> After reading the book discuss what needed fixed, and why, who and how it was fixed.

==> I always reread my piece when I am done writing. Often when I reread I find little problems that need fixing.

==> Fixing a piece can make it better.
